Alysa POV: It was another day at the orphanage of screaming and yelling. It seemed like no one could ever get along! All morning all I hear is noises. But that's all it is, is noises. I started not caring about there words along time ago. You had to get my attention before I would actually listen to you. I was sitting in my window looking out at the streets below. The window was my favorite spot in my room. I would sit here at night and look at all the lights of the city. I had always loved the lights. I used to stay awake all night when I would drive through the cities with my parents....

No!

I can't think about them...

My roommate Clarissa walked into our room and grabbed her bag. Before she left she looked at me with a sad smile.

"Alysa, me and some other girls are going to the park down the street. You want to come with us?" She asked me. I could see the hope in her eyes but it soon faded when she looked at mine.

"No thanks." I said.

"You shouldn't just stay inside everyday you know. Its not healthy. All you do is go to school, come home, exercise, and then sit in that window until you go to bed. Even then you sometimes still sleep by the window." She told me.

I didn't answer her. She knew that I wouldn't but every day she still tries. I know she's right but I can't go outside. I used to love going outside, but since my parents died I couldn't stand it. It was to much of a reminder. 

I heard the door close signaling she had left. I looked back out the window. I saw someone standing on the sidewalk below. I don't know why I looked at him. When I see someone on the sidewalk I usually look away not wanting to know what they looked like. But he looked to familiar to just not look. He had dark brown curly hair that he was hiding under his beanie. He was tall and slim. He wore black skinny jeans and a white shirt with a grey hoodie over it. But his eyes were the most beautiful shade of green I had ever seen!

I used to have a an obsession with eyes. I loved to look at them and compare them to others. But now I won't even look anyone in the eyes. I can still feel the obsession but I force myself not to look at anyone or there eyes.

I take one last look at him out the window then I look away. When I look back at the sidewalk he is gone. Suddenly the wall of emotions hit me! I don't know why I felt such a strong connection for the boy with green eyes, but the emotions were there plain as day. For the first time in a year someone got through the walls I built up around myself. That person was the boy with the green eyes.

Harry's POV:

I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota walking the streets. I came here to try and clear my head and figure some things out. I just needed to get out of London away from the boys and away from everyone. These past few months of the tour I have been feeling really down.

The boys had noticed and have been asking me about it a lot but I didn't know what to say. It has just felt like theres been something missing in life. I wish I could figure out what it is but I can't. The day the tour ended I pretty much bought the first plane ticket I saw and headed out.

Here I am now just walking trying not to be spotted. I stopped when I came to building that had many windows in it. It was a 6 story building with a sign on the front that said Minneapolis Orphanage. But it was not the building or sign that drew me in. It was the girl sitting in a window on the 5th story. She had long brown wavy hair that was left down. She looked pretty thin and her face looked like it once was filled with happiness but now it held sadness and brokeness. I couldn't see her eyes but I imagine them to be brown. She looked like she could be 18 but I could tell from emotions on her face she was younger than that and that she had been hurt in her past.
